Miss home most,
When the fridge is empty,
The washing needs to be done.

Like you I too was a colour,
A colour nobody liked,
A colour nobody wanted.
I sat alone at my desk,
I sat alone in the school canteen,
I had my break alone,
I walked home alone.
But,I had faith and hope,
One day somebody would come along,
Need someone like me,
An unwanted colour,
To complete her/his beautiful painting.
My hope became a reality,
A new boy came to school,
He was smart, cool and rich,
Girls swooned over him,
But,he chose me over others.

My wife is colour red,
With two prominent elements,
Anger and Love.
When I want to spice our life,
I stir a lot of anger in her,
She explodes,"BOOM!"
Out vents her pent up emotions,
I hold onto her outbursts,
For with patience you get a reward.
When she calms down she is a dove,
A sweet rose,
Sorry,
Placid,
Amorous towards me.
We make up,
Candle light dinner,
Soft music,
And a lovely,romantic and cosy night.

When you want to learn the art of blending colours study nature,
See the sunrise and sunset,
And its gorgeous colours strewn across the sky,
The seven colours of the rainbow and their arrangements,
The beauty and enhancement of the stars and moon with the background of the night sky,
Black gives depth to all colours.
Colours is the smile of nature,
Its luscious greenery,
And its colourful hues of flowers.
Colour is in emotions too,
Its power which influences the soul,
Besides who would prefer not living in colours.

I love all colours,
Brown, black, yellow and white,
Of beautiful women.

Come closer honey,
Listen to my heartbeats
yearning for you,
Like the sound of the ocean in a conch shell.
Come closer sweetheart,
Read our love story,
Etched in lines and shading,
Along the seashore of my body skin.
Come closer baby,
Feel how my breaths gasp and fall,
As ocean waves,
I, a windsurfer trying my best to hold on.
As much as you have made me burn in the raging fire of  my love for you,
I wish you to roast with me in the inferno.
If it had been a stranger I would have desired the same,
But, you are my love,
How can I?

One day I went with my friend to put flowers on her sister's  grave.
My eyes fell on the  tombstone.
On it was written:
Come but don't shed tears on my grave,
Friends don't be sad,
If any of you miss me just come up to visit me.

a lovely red rose
on my kitchen window sill

The rose is a beauty,
Colourful,
Fragrant,
For all occasions,
But, it has thorns,
The exotic rose and it's sharp thorns complement each other.

He was a talented artist,
Midas Touch,
A gift from God.
People appreciated his work,
Famous people sought his paintings,
He became famous and rich.
Ego and conceit became his friends,
That was his downfall.

Out from jail,
Saw three ladies in a veil,
Which one is mine,
I could not define.
Black is not my wife's colour,
Nor worn in our culture,
White is for a widow,
I know this so,
Perhaps the one in blue
Before I could say hello you,
She ran and hugged another one,
He was her son.
Then I saw a bit afar,
Wifey coming out of our car.
Though covered in a colourful embroidered veil,
I knew it was her without fail.

Love happens when the
Souls connect,
Not when the bodies connect.
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2018
We are all connected,
Everyone has a part of HIM in us,
We are all Divine,
We are all One.

I run to my ceramic throne,
I feel it coming I groan.
I take my seat,
Try to ****,
To no avail,
I feel terrible.
I push more and more,
My face red, my  *** sore.
One last push,one last try,
A deep breath, a loud cry,
"Who let the dogs out, woof woof,
Out you come, you goof,
Something dropped,
It  worked,
Heard a large plop.

I wondered generally  why women are supposed to cook for their husbands.
The I read theGeneva Convention.
All prisoners are supposed to be

When my girl left me
I was heart broken,
To lessen the pain
my friend told me I would find better and most beautiful girls in all  four corners of the world,
But...................
the earth is round.

Still not contained,
Can arrive in any country any moment,
Be alert!
Don't  touch anyone or things or regret it,
Stuff yourself with vitamin C to boost your immune system,
Slices of lemon in a cup of lukewarm  can save your life,
Be clean,
Wash your hands now and then,
Wear a mask,
Prayers too help,
Be blessed.

I am happy in heaven,
Don't come to my grave and weep,
If you burn me with a candle,
Or cut me with a knife,
I will  feel no pain,
But, when I hear your weeping ,
Your pining for me,
It saddens me,
I too, have tears to fall.

He and I,
In love soared to great heights,
Beyond the clouds,
To the universe,
Hopped on Mars and Jupiter,
Rode on the tail of a meteor.
Soon,our love went sour,
The landing was rough,
He, on the crescent moon,
That tipped him in the ocean.
I,on the rainbow,
The clouds gathered my tears
That fell as raindrops,
Whilst the rainbow arched and slid me on the horizon.

Cough! Cough!Cough!
Ouch!tough,
Try this cough syrup,
In no time you will be up.
No infection, no inflammation, no allergen,
In a jiffy, everything gone.
My onion sugar cough syrup is better,
All you need is an onion and sugar,
And a jar.
Cut the onion into round slices
Round rings, not tiny pieces,
Place an onion ring in a jar,
Cover it with sugar,
Place a second slice on top,
Cover the same with sugar on top,
Till you are done.
Close the jar tight,
Leave it overnight.
The next day, your honey coloured cough syrup is ready,
Wish your recovery is speedy.

He came,
He got,
He forgot.
I gave,
I forgave,
I could not forget,
I became pregnant.
Men can get away but women have to face the consequences

Never heard about a working of a court,
I was on the stand,
My counsel was a good lawyer,
The prosecutor had a fiery temper,
There was a minor chaos,
The judge banged his gavel
"Order, Order".
I whispered audibly,
"Chicken hamburger,chips,salad and a can of coke".

Is more stressful than marriage,

Food,
Lust for ***,

Not normal.

An atheist wanted proof,
He wanted to see the creator,
That is simple,
Look directly at the sun for some time,
He could not,
My eyes hurt he said.
If it is impossible  for you to see his creation for a few minutes,
How will you be able to see HIM.

Etched on the canvas of the dark night sky,
I saw the crescent moon cradle my newly born lovely dreams.
I smiled and whispered thanks to to the passinh wind which conveyed it.
